A momentum study on the weekly returns regarding the Swedish stock market (OM

Psykedelika har länge erkänts för sina kraftfulla effekter på det mänskliga psyket och psykedelisk-assisterad terapi blir alltmer erkänd som en effektiv terapeutisk intervention. Placebo används i klinisk forskning för att validera effekten av en terapi eller behandling. Forskare är intresserade av att visa att en viss behandling är överlägsen jämfört med placebo. En utvärdering av den metodologisPsychedelics have long been recognized for their powerful effects on the human psyche and psychedelic-assisted therapy is becoming increasingly acknowledged as an effective therapeutic intervention.

The demands on wireless communications are continuously growing, due to the fact that when higher network capabilities are delivered, new features and applications are created, calling for even higher requirements. To keep pace with these demands and to allow new applications to rise, the limits of mobile networks must be pushed regularly. Therefore, the International Telecommunication Union targe

Tidigare forskning indikerar att personlighet och personliga värderingar är relaterade konstrukt med medelstora korrelationer. Dock har få studier undersökt relationer på fasettnivå. Varje ’Big Five’ faktor innehåller en lägre nivå med ett flertal fasetter vilka tros representera faktorns specifika innehåll. Eftersom de fem faktorerna i ’Big Five’ representerar ett medelvärde av sina respektive faPrevious research suggests that personality and personal values are related constructs with sizeable correlations. However, few previous studies have examined trait-value relations at facet level. Each Big Five trait domain contains several lower-order facets thought to represent the specific contents of the higher-order traits. As a Big Five trait represents an average of its facets, the Big Five

Gamification har under de senaste åren vuxit i popularitet, inte minst inom arbete. Därför har även forskningen vuxit avsevärt. Forskningen är dock begränsad när det gäller hur gamification påverkar anställdas engagemang. Därför syftar denna studie till att bidra till den begränsade forskningen i form av kvalitativ datainsamling kring hur personer upplever att sitt engagemang påverkas. Den kvalita

Methodology: The utilized econometric approach is OLS regressions on a cross-sectional data. The regressions use yield spreads as dependent variables, a self-constructed ambitiousness proxy, Average Annual

I dette studie har jeg anvendt logbogsnotationer og simple indspildninger til at analysere 20 øvetilfælde, hvor jeg har undersøgt og afprøvet forskellige øvestrategier for at overkomme udfordringerne ved simultan violinspil og sang (violinsang). Gennem analyse af logbog og interview med musikere som har erfaring på dette område, har jeg opnået en større forståelse for mine egne tekniske udfordIn this study, I have used logbook notations and simple recordings to analyze 20 of my own practice sessions, where I have examined and tested different practice strategies to overcome the challenges of simultaneous violin playing and singing (violin singing). Through analysis of the logbook and interviews with musicians who have experience in this field, I have gained a greater understanding

A long-term overlapping generations macroeconomic framework is presented, in which a downsizing old generation bargains with an upsizing middle-aged generation to settle on house prices. In this model, both expectations, which are coordinated by the relative bargaining power of each generation, and credit conditions, which influence the range of prices each side will accept, are important for the
